Just ran across an interesting prob, wondered if anyone else has seen it. I added a repeating entry to /etc/cron.d/foo that ran every */5 minutes. I then tried to get rid of it... It will not die.
I moved the file out of /etc/cron.d and it still is running. I cp'd the file and deleted the old one in case cron remembered the inode (rather a long shot). No change. I did /etc/init.d/cron stop; /etc/init.d/cron start; still it repeats. I did updatedb and locate cron; can't find it cached anywhere. cron doesn't seem to have any flush options and no indication that it should be caching across executions. I could certainly (I hope!) get rid of it by rebooting but I can't do that with this system at this time. Has anyone else had trouble making vixie cron STFU? Am I hallucinating? Is my brain in need of Coke and M&M's? -- ------------------------------------------------------ IN MY NAME: Dale Amon, CEO/MD No Mushroom clouds over Islandone Society London and New York. www.islandone.org ------------------------------------------------------ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
